Thinking that it was a Tea Party tract, I picked it up and put it in my pocket because I always like to know what the crazies are saying. To my surprise it wasn\u2019t a Tea Party tract. It was even better \u2013 A Ray Comfort tract!!!!<\/p>\n<p>Here is what the front side of the bill looks like:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/dangeroustalk\/files\/2014\/01\/obama-bill1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1026\" src=\"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/dangeroustalk\/files\/2014\/01\/obama-bill1.jpg\" alt=\"obama-bill1\" width=\"300\" height=\"129\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAs you can see, the questionably racist drawing of Obama was the first thing I saw. It looks like something some wacky Tea Party group would put out. Plus, it is a trillion dollar bill which plays in to their fallacious argument that Obama is responsible for our large national debt. It wasn\u2019t until I turned it over and read the reverse side of the bill, that I realized that it wasn\u2019t the Tea Party. The wordy script is Ray Comfort\u2019s signature argument from his \u201cWay of the Master\u201d series. He also uses it in all of his direct to DVD movies (which I reviewed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/review\/review-180-movie\" target=\"_blank\">HERE<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/review\/review-genius-the-movie\" target=\"_blank\">HERE<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/review\/review-evolution-vs-god-the-movie\" target=\"_blank\">HERE<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/dangeroustalk\/files\/2014\/01\/obama-bill2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1027\" src=\"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/dangeroustalk\/files\/2014\/01\/obama-bill2-300x130.jpg\" alt=\"obama-bill2\" width=\"300\" height=\"130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/dangeroustalk\/files\/2014\/01\/obama-bill2-300x130.jpg 300w, https:\/\/skepticink.com\/dangeroustalk\/files\/2014\/01\/obama-bill2.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nIn small print, on the side of the bill you can see Comfort\u2019s website, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livingwaters.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">LivingWaters.com<\/a>. I couldn\u2019t find the Obama bill for sale on the website, but I did see it in the background of his video for the Sampler Set of tracts. So I assume it comes with that. Here is that video:<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&quot;Can I Have Another One?&quot; (LW Tracts)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JDLmQuKht5U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nI want to draw your attention to the Wallet Tract. This is pretty much an amplification of this bill tract gag. The goal is to trick people and Comfort makes that very clear.<\/p>\n<p>Their arguments suck and they know it, so they need to find new ways to trick unsuspecting people \u2013 and he has the audacity to preach that lying is sin while he is actively engaging is deception. His whole ministry is about lying in some form or another. Oh the irony.<\/p>\n<p>In an attempt to point out the lying that Comfort does during his interviews, I <a href=\"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/dangeroustalk\/2013\/08\/26\/my-interview-with-ray-comfort\/\" target=\"_blank\">interviewed him last year<\/a>. It seems he knows what he is doing is wrong and doesn\u2019t want to be treated how he treats others. Imagine that.<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/article\/why-there-is-no-such-thing-as-a-good-christian?cid=rss\" target=\"_blank\">Why there is no such thing as a good Christian<\/a> (examiner.com)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/review\/review-180-movie\" target=\"_blank\">Review: 180 Movie<\/a> (examiner.com)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/review\/review-genius-the-movie\" target=\"_blank\">Review: Genius &#8211; The Movie<\/a> (examiner.com)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/review\/review-evolution-vs-god-the-movie\" target=\"_blank\">Review: Evolution vs. God \u2013 The Movie<\/a> (examiner.com)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/article\/christian-group-to-give-away-free-copy-of-darwin-s-origin-of-species\" target=\"_blank\">Christian group to give away free copy of Darwin&#8217;s Origin of Species<\/a> (examiner.com)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/article\/ray-comfort-doesn-t-like-the-b-word\" target=\"_blank\">Ray Comfort: Doesn\u2019t like the \u2018B-word<\/a>\u2019 (examiner.com)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/dangeroustalk\/2013\/08\/26\/my-interview-with-ray-comfort\/\" target=\"_blank\">My Interview With Ray Comfort<\/a> (SkepticInk.com)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px;height: 15px\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/?px\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"border: none;float: right\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?x-id=1bdda0d2-5e73-4df6-b4bb-7a772cc315b3\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went to a public restroom the other day and saw an obviously phony Obama bill on the ground.
